I will be able to read this book without weeping.
The girls are always asking, "you ok mommy?" and I have to explain that I just love them so much.
Here is the content...
One day I counted your fingers, and kissed each one. (picture of mom w/ baby in hospital)
One day the first snowflakes fell, and I held you up and watched them melt on your baby skin.
One day we crossed the street, and you held my hand tight.
Then, you were my baby, and now you are my child.
Sometimes when you sleep, I watch you dream, and I dream too...
that someday you will dive into the cool, clear water of a lake.
Someday you will walk into a deep wood.
Someday your eyes will be filled with a joy so deep that they shine.
Someday you will run so fast and so far your heart will feel like fire.
Someday you will swing high - so high, higher than you ever dared to swing.
Someday you will hear something so sad that you will fold up with sorrow.
Someday you will call a song to the wind, and the wind will carry your song away.
Someday I will stand on this porch and watch your arms waving to me until I no longer see you.
Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that feels so big can look so small.
Someday you will feel a small weight against your strong back. (picture of mom giving a piggy back ride)
Someday I will watch you brushing your child's hair.
Someday, a long time from now, your own hair will glow silver in the sun.
And when that day comes, love, you will remember me. (picture of a desk with the photo framed of the first picture of the mom holding the baby)

WHY! Why make me cry. Must go find a tissue now.
The brevity of life hurts the Mommy's heart so much! That book is so sweet. A great reminder to make the most of it and love them well.
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
